The Seat Ibiza is the best small car on the market; it really has no major weakness

Trim:

If you value sporty looks, it’s worth considering FR trim. As well as adding bigger 17in alloy wheels, this trim gets you a more aggressive-looking bodykit, sports seats, a DAB radio, cruise control and rain-sensing windscreen wipers.

Engine:

This is effectively a turbocharged version of the entry-level 1.0 MPI. It's the pick of the engine line-up, being punchy from low revs and whisking the Ibiza up to 60mph in around 10 seconds – very respectable by class standards.
